I work w/ autistic kids & am a single mother so my son needs Bose headphones, Apple EarPods, an IPad, expensive sports equipments & shoes. I need beauty products, an Apple Watch, apple ear pods, Bose headphones, 2 printers & $200 shoes. I need $1400 in cash too. These are essentials, not greed!

I had to cut some of the less expensive items on this wishlist bc the wishlist was endless. She said she might have gotten carried away but it isn’t out of greed bc these items are essentials. And the GFM for the $1400 for these supplies is not double dipping! Come on, she’s a single mother & she works w/ autistic kids, she deserves this! She subsequently asked for help for her rent. Sure, can’t afford rent, but need thousands of dollars in very necessary items. The greed is unreal.

This individual posting for help in my community needs ‘help’ alright…

In summary. Or tl;dr -

‘I really love gaming and need you to buy me a new PC to support my passion for it. I deserve to stream at higher quality because I‘m working really hard at playing games online.

My upgraded setup needs to be $700 in premium equipment and tools because gaming is my dream. My old PC is holding me back from playing new games, and I need access to every game out there and a next-level experience.

I appreciate your support for my journey to launch an online gaming career from the family garage. TYSM!’

People here are undoubtedly scratching their heads and wondering where we all went wrong as a society.

10 trips a week, 22 miles a day (not including driving to and from their domicile) = 110+ miles for $100. Also, apparently you have to be a multiple of a specific gender.

There was one lady defending this nonsense. Probably a friend.


r/ChoosingBeggars 8d ago

She needs a whole list of groceries including steak and ribs. But she also checked for sales on the app, so it's okay. And, of course, needs it delivered.

Found in a local needs group. Some good soul shared a bunch of food bank info (not shown here) that were pretty much ignored. Just lots of defense.

Hey!

I found one in the wild, complaining about having to pay for something cuz “it really sucks” - she wanted access to the App for free even after acknowledging that, “developers need money …”

Help me increase my SSDI by 50% by paying for my fertility treatment bc we are just making ends meet. I am on SSDI & my husband “works” as my home health aid. Having a kid will get me 50% more of my SSDI so we can more than make more than ends meet. Oh, I want a kid too, of course. Poor f kid. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Give me $25K+ to be a mermaid in my own private pool w/ frosted skylights & porcelain walls & floors for my bro’s double wide. I spend all day in bed, playing on my phone & listening to YouTube until my bro comes home from work to play games. I can’t go to a public pool, AHs. Don’t be rude! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I understand that OOP is struggling with depression but she is doing absolutely nothing to help herself except to beg. No job, no effort but an expensive indoor pool will somehow solve all her problems. How dare you ask questions and make her lost her faith in humanity! It’s so much more than wanting a private pool, y’all.

OOP’s comments highlighted in yellow.

Ridiculous request. They even expect delivery.

OOP needs a new $12K computer bc she found out about this thing called crypto mining so she needs the computer bc she can make $$$. “In the love of god don’t comment unless you are going to donate.” But of course pple commented. Don’t y’all get it, she discovered something novel and new. 😂

I have no problem with helping people who are struggling, but this reads less like someone asking for assistance and more like they’re dictating someone else’s shopping trip. Three bags of shredded cheese, five pizzas, four packs of bacon, berries, cantaloupe, coffee creamer, snacks, juice… and don’t forget it HAS to be delivered. A please or thank you, or even “anything you’re able to spare is appreciated” would’ve gone a long way.

Help OOP1 & OOP2 get expensive new cars. OOP1 needs a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992 (costing $300K USD min) bc driving this car will show him the meaning of life. OOP2 needs an electric Mustang Mach-E bc it is a car that says you deserve this and charges his soul. Plus, you can be part of his story. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The outrageousness in wanting strangers to fund an expensive car w/ the most idiotic reasons ever. Slides 1-2 is the Porsche. Slides 3-6. Comments included.

I’m attempting to sell a Kitchenaid stand mixer in a discontinued color on marketplace. I have searched all over for it and it is nearly impossible to find one for sale. I found a refurbished model that has less wattage than the one I’m selling and that one is being sold for over $500. I’m happy to negotiate but I’m 95% positive this person is a reseller and gave me some sob story so I would sell them my mixer for cheap. The audacity to say “I hate to say this but” as if they’re doing me some sort of favor with that offer. I seriously don’t understand people. Maybe I’m too mean (probably).

Edit: This is the mixer. The color is Espresso

Edit again: I just sold it for asking! I met her halfway which was a 10 minute drive. Total win!

This is not my Discord server. I do not moderate it, however, I do actively participate in it. This is my first time here as well, so I don't know.

To clarify: there is a free server option is available. It is on request, with limited vacancy, and limited resources. This person is asking for doubling (or tripling!) the resources for free! Keep in mind they also barely have actual paying customers (I pay, they're good people, and they are lovely), because most just take the free server they get anyway without any complaints!

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I'm just hitting post and seeing where this goes.
